  • Researching the Current Situation of Street Greenery in Latvia's Large Cities
    Proceedings of the Latvia University of Agriculture Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 3, Number 3 Researching the Current Situation of Street Greenery in Latvia’s large cities Maija Jankevica, Daiga Zigmunde, Latvia University of Agriculture Abstract. Street greenery is one of the most important public green spaces that enhance the aesthetic and ecological quality of urban environment. Firstly street greenery helps create a city’s visual image and it provides extra public space and secondly it ecologically links bigger green planting areas (parks, squares, etc.) and improves the microclimate. The aim of the study was to analyse the current situation and characteristics of street greenery in Latvia’s large cities in order to determine the aspects limiting and enhancing aesthetic and ecological quality. Four cities were selected as study objects - Liepaja, Jelgava, Valmiera and Rezekne. Landscape inventory, photo fixation of street greenery, assessment of landscape ecological and aesthetic characteristics and examination of spatial plans of local municipalities were used in the research. The results indicate that street greenery is mainly arranged as street enclosing or bordering elements. They are formed as linear green groups, consisting mostly of trees, grass and hard ground cover. In general landscape ecological and aesthetic characteristics of the street greenery are of low quality and not in mutual accordance. Also the study did not reveal the landscape ecological aesthetic design approach used in the planning of street greenery. Generally, the cities selected for the research pay attention to the regular management and stewardship of street greenery. One of the aspects limiting aesthetic and ecological characteristics of street greenery is the long winter season, city’s extreme conditions, vandalism and underground utilities and communication network in the green zones of the streets, which strongly influence the choice of plants.

  • The Planning System and Planning Terms in Germany a Glossary
    STUDIES IN SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT At a time when Europe is growing together, cooperation between countries is becoming increas- 7 ingly necessary. One of the main reasons for pursuing transnational spatial development is to at- tain a common understanding of the facts of spatial planning. Hence, the INTERREG III B project “COMMIN” sought to establish a common communication basis for the exchange of knowledge and experience in spatial planning and thus to foster and develop this understanding in the Baltic Sea region. Therefore, on the basis of a standardized structure the COMMIN project partners prepared basic information about institutional settings and spatial planning systems and compiled a glossary of key terminology in spatial planning accompanied by a varying range of fact sheets with respect to planning cases taken as examples. The readers will now fi nd on www.commin.org the whole range of information covering the respec- tive national languages as well as English translations, although in some countries offi cial transla- tions for these issues were lacking. The project partners were aware of the fact that each translation requires a balancing act between legal precision and communicable classifi cation and, at the end, is a question of defi nition power and of different senses for semantics. The Planning System and The German text on hand (status December 2006) – one information package out of eleven – was prepared by a team comprising planners, lawyers, economists, and administrative academics. Actually no other publication treating this subject in English exists and it will hopefully contribute not only Planning Terms in Germany to understanding planning issues in Europe but also to transferring in this respect information and knowledge within the country.

  • Urban Shrinkage in Liepāja
    UPPSATSER FRÅN KULTURGEOGRAFISKA INSTITUTIONEN June 2011 Urban Shrinkage in Liep āja Awareness of population decline in the planning process Kristaps Kaugurs [email protected] Master's Thesis in Urban and Regional Planning, 30 ECTS Supervisors: Eva Andersson and Thomas Borén Department of Human Geography, Stockholm University www.humangeo.su.se KAUGURS, KRISTAPS (2011). Urban Shrinkage in Liepāja: Awareness of population decline in the planning process Urban and Regional Planning, master thesis for master exam in Urban and Regional Planning, 30 ECTS credits, Stockholm University. Supervisors: Eva Andersson and Thomas Borén Language: English Abstract The aim of the study is to investigate the current state of awareness of urban shrinkage in Liepāja by the key actors involved in the planning process. Last couple of hundred years have brought many transformations in urbanity that was always accompanied by the growth of the population and expansion of the city. However, the new patterns of urban development emerged in the last decades all over the globe, causing cities to lose the inhabitants resulting in urban shrinkage. Liepāja, the third largest city in Latvia, has lost a quarter of its population in last two decades and the trend continues. The long-term municipal planning document is being presented during this research in a light of which the research question is asked: “What is the current state of awareness of urban shrinkage in Liepāja by the key actors?” Utilising Flyvbjerg’s phronetic form of inquiry in combination with case study and repeated semi- structured interviews, the dominant planning views related to urban shrinkage are sought and analysed.

Spatial plan- ning in Poland is regulated by the Spatial Planning and Development Act of 27 March 2003 and should be implemented in conformity with the EU Directive Establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). In the study an assessment of the spatial planning system in Poland in the light of existing legislation has been carried out, and a SWOT analysis has been performed, showing the planning’ strengths and weaknesses, oppor- tunities and threats, and the most immediate needs to be met – in the context of amendments currently being drafted – have been indicated. Keywords spatial planning in Poland • INSPIRE • SWOT analysis 1. Spatial planning in Poland according to existing legislative acts Spatial planning is a part of general social and economic planning and is understood as an entirety of institutions, methods and actions ensuring rational management of space [Gawroński 2007]. The existing legislation regulating spatial planning in Poland is the Spatial Planning and Development Act of 27 March 2003 [Dz. U. (Journal of Laws) 2003, Nr 80, poz. 717] together with implementing acts. The Spatial Information Infrastructure Act of 4 March 2010 [Dz. U. 2010 Nr 76, poz. 489] is also worth noting, as it introduces into Polish law the provisions of the Directive 2007/2/EC of The European Parliament of 14 March 2007 ‘Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community’ (INSPIRE).
